Talented vocalist will warm hearts on a snowy night
Remember Mber: Eclectic Coloratura
Performed by Mber Rose
International vocalist Mber Rose performs arias of Mozart, Bellini, Stravinsky and Celtic traditional and original songs at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 13 and Saturday, April 28 in the sanctuary at St. Paul’s, 1600 Grant Street. Featuring special guest April 13 John Rassmussen, assistant principal oboe formerly with the Boulder Philharmonic, and on both nights vocalist & guitarist Gary Michaels from the Irish Band riverrun,and piano accompanist Paula Millar, musical director of The Adam’s Mark “Bravo Ristorante!”. The evening’s program includes Bellini’s Ah! Non Credea Mirarti from La Sonnambula, The Doll Song (Les oiseaux dans la charmille) from Tales of Hoffman by Offenbach, The Song of the Nightingale from Le Rossignol by Igor Stravinsky, traditional Celtic I’ll Tell Me Ma, and The Master, an original by Mber Rose. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door at 6 pm. Doors open at 7:30.
Mber Rose (Ember) received her Bachelor of Arts in Music Education in 1995, and was the first freshman ever accepted into the University of Northern Colorado’s female vocal quartet “Sus 4”. In 1996 she enlisted in the U.S. Air Force beginning both her military service and professional singing career. Mber was one of the first five military entertainers to perform in Vietnam since the conflict in the early 70’s. Performing with the USAF Glen Miller Band as featured jazz soloist she toured Japan, Korea, Singapore and Guam and even entertained U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry (who unexpectedly retired the next day.) This voice apparently influences politics!
In 2001, at age 29, Mber had a stroke. She was told that she might walk but she would never sing professionally again. Mber wouldn’t hold that thought for a second. After 5 years of hard work she has recovered beyond 100 percent, running her first marathon, practicing martial arts and writing her best songs. Her goal is to be the most versatile singer/composer in the field. She is presently studying music from Ireland, Eastern Europe and India as well as classical and opera. Spiritual, a student of The Ramtha School of Enlightenment and Tantra (The Art of Sacred Sexuality) she desires to intensify the global movement towards enlightenment through her performances.
Mber has performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on their Sunday morning broadcast and has shared the stage as a soloist with Bob Seger, The Gap Band, Vital Information, Diane Reeves, and Stanley Gilbert. She dazzled Japanese TV viewers in 2000 singing her original song Too Late which aired as a commercial for Yokohama’s TVK 42 Sony Music Access and sang a nationally broadcast radio commercial for Japan’s cell phone company Do Co Mo.

Sunrise Easter Services
The Denver Post had a special article yesterday about where to go to watch the sunrise on Easter. The lead of the story, of course, was Red Rocks. http://www.denverpost.com/ci_5516823
So where's the sun? Red Rocks just announced they are cancelling, the other cool spots will be dark, too.
Mary and I will be at either the 8 p.m. Easter Vigil service at Sacred Heart Retreat Center tonight, or their service tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. http://www.sacredheartretreat.org/about.html
Looking for a good movie after Easter dinner tomorrow? Check out the world's best Denver movie listings on the calendar to the left! Happy Easter!

It was wonderful!
The Light in the Piazza was absolutely beautiful. I loved everything about it: the story of a young woman falling in love with a handsome young Italian, the story of a mother's love, the setting, the acting, and the singing. The voices were rich and came from the heart—unlike those on American Idol. Best of all, the story ends with Clara, the young woman, and her handsome young Italian living happily after all. We see them getting married.
The story has an interesting twist to it. While Clara is 26, she has the mental capacities of a 12 year-old due to an injury from a horse. It appears that this secret is revealed when Clara signs her name to the marriage certificate, and the groom's father calls a halt to the wedding. Horrified, Clara's mother believes that it's because Clara's handwriting is so childlike. But, that's not the reason at all.
As the two parents talk, the audience learns the reason why the groom's father stopped the wedding.
And, that's why you should go see the Light in the Piazza, to find out why and to be reminded that true love is ageless.
